Here is my first tip. We bought a changing table like you're supposed to, but when we got it home and I looked at the table pad I realized that it was the perfect size to fit on my guest bathroom counter top. And trust me, when you've changed a few overflowing newborn diapers, you'll be thankful for the handy sink! So if your bathroom layout lends itself to this hack, give it a try and see what you think.
